I use Windows mail for past few weeks. Suddenly the interface has changed. I can no longer (on the left side) see the list of folders (inbox, outbox, sent, etc). How to get it back? Vista.
I was trying to change the appearance (using Vista Basic), have not idea what I did, but now all my text windows are light gray, the text is somewhat blurry and has a gray show tail after everything making very hard to read on my homepage and in Microsoft Mail. Can someone please tell me how to go back, I promise not to touch it again.
does anyone know how to change windows vista basic logon screen to the one where u have to enter ur username and password and click enter. ive already enabled ctrl - alt - delete function,
The networking aspect of vista on my notebook has crapped out again. I can still connect, but i cant change options or anything. This is the second time this happened. I am going to reinstall vista anyways, because it needs a fresh install, but does anybody have a fix for this problem? Or should I just call tech support and have them deal with it?
Do you use the web-based VMWare Management Interface to control your ESX server and have problems opening virtual machines in IE7? Many user have reported that instead of getting the open prompt in IE7 they get a find option instead. To fix this, you need to define the application/x-vmware-console MIME type so IE7 allows you to open the file.

when I try and download my Lexmark X1240 it will go all the way to the end of the download and just at the end it says my windows interface stop working and has stopped the program. so my l printer will not work.
I play Online game Lineage2. For some reason a few days ago something started to happen with the interface of gaming windows. If I open a few windows the picture starts to go into the lag mode. And this is without even log in the game, just interface. I got Vista Ultimate 64, and I could open up to 10 windows of that game and be online in all of them at the same time, to just few days ago. I dont know what happen. May be something with ram, or CPU, or something else? Unfortunately I am not very klever will all the technical sides of the computer. I do know things, but not as much as you professionals.
HP Desktop (1 year old) Vista Home Premium 32 bit SP1. Had AVG 7.5 for about six months (with email scan disabled). AVG offerred Version 8 and I allowed it to download and install. Big mistake!! Gave me nothing but trouble. When I tried to uninstall it, I realized it wasn't listed in Install/Uninstall. But I saw that AVG had an Uninstall as part of their program....so I used it. (My second mistake!)
Now, whenever I start up.....a window appears: "AVG Anti-Virus System. Could not initialize AVG Anti-Virus kernel interface." How can I get rid of this window? It doesn't cause trouble...but I hate seeing it everytime I start the computer. As you can guess...I'm not a Guru...just a user..so please try to keep it simple...if possible.
im not sure if anybodys gonna know what im talking about because im a swedish vista-user and therefore using a swedish usb-modem. i know nothing about computers so i dont know if a modem called huwaei E220 is known outside of sweden. anyway, thats the name of the modem im trying to get to work on my vista laptop. ive called telia (my internet provider) support and ive done everything theyve told me to do. i upgraded the modem accordingly, yet im still experiencing problems. the modem works on my stationary comp, and always has, but when i try to get it to work on my vista laptop it does not. before i upgraded it didnt even recognize that something had been attatched, but now every time i put the usb in it starts to install the proper programs but then after a few seconds it says that the installation failed. it tells me data interface couldnt be installed, and also another program - huwaei modem 'something something' (i dont remember). and i click on 'retry' but no luck. it says i should put my disc for data interface in.. but i dont have one. gee wiz, i dont even know what data interface is.
Microsoft has released new Language Interface Packs for Windows Vista. The LIPs can be applied to all Vista editions as long as the parent language is supported. These language packs are not Ultimate extras. Some restrictions apply to Vista Starter. Also, new LIPs have been released for the Office 2007 products.
I want to buy notebook but I rather confused to decide whether to take the Vista Home Premium or the Ultimate. I live in Japan but I only understand a little Japanese so I also want to have my Windows in English either. Is it enough only using Vista Home Premium and install the Windows Vista Language Interface Pack (LIP) on it?
Or I have to purchase the Ultimate and install the Windows Vista Multilingual User Interface Pack (MUI) on it? I don't know anything about Vista, so I cannot guess what this feature is for. Unlike XP. So I really need it in both English and Japanese. The Japanese, I need it for some parts of my job. The prices is quite high for the Vista Ultimate so if it is possible, I will not upgrade to Ultimate.
is there a way to influence the automatic metrics algorithm (interfaces and per IP) in some way? Influence in the sense of manipulate.This problem also covers following posts: "multiple NICs; automatic metrics" "Two NICs with identical gateway metric" Very often there are several default routes but with different metrics. In most cases automatic metrics algorithm works fine, but there should be a better way to switch the "Default Gateway" other than setting manual metrics for each belonging Adapter (and IP). There SEEMS TO BE a promising way to control automatic metrics assignment. There is a control panel dialog: "Control Panel -> Network Connections"
If you click ALT key on your keyboard here, and then selects menu "Advacned -> Advanced Settings..." a dialog is opened where you can change the order of Connections in the "Adapter and Bindings" tab. No one knows the purpose of changing the order here, but I expected to influence the automatic metrics assignment which would make sense. But changing this order will NOT change any metrics. Is this a bug in Windows Vista or does this order have another purpose? Is there a way to change this automatic metrics assignment in some way? Are there some information (released by Microsoft) that shows the algorithm for automatic metrics assignment? I need this information because I'm currently developing a small Windows tool to simplify the "Default Gateway" selection. My current tool still lacks of some features and don't work as expected.
Following some of your threads and digging more, I have now conquered my problem. The issue was USB wireless interface would not work after waking from S3. I was able to restore functionality by disabling the device and re-enabling (key part of diagnosis). That was a pain, and certainly not something I want to tolerate over time.
This problem is nicely discussed A USB device may no longer work correctly after Windows Vista resumes from sleep or from hibernation I know MS gets blamed for lots of PC issues which sometimes are BIOS, 3rd party drivers, and unresolved PC architecture issues. This work around forces an HCI reset after sleep/hibernation, much like how removing and replacing a notebook to a docking station would do. I expect this will evolve over time with more use of S3. New drivers, hotfixes, maybe BIOS... but for now this brute force workaround works and makes total sense.
I currently own a audio input interface called MobilePre USB. I have recently purchased a computer with Windows Vista which (I think) is using service pack one (not sure how to check this!). The audio interface has been causing my computer to crash (blue screen) and having contacted the company they have told me that the hardware is not supported by Vista service pack one. They did say though that I can "roll-back" my system which would cure the problem. I am unsure about how to do this or whether this is safe to do.
I keep getting the following error when I try to print. Job Status Window Interface has stopped Working. I called Lexmark and they said it was a windows problem. Has anybody had this problem? Is there a fix for it?
I can get the good old Windows Update interface back, somehow the interface as changed for something that is less usefull and easy to find what update I need to do or not.
I have Vista Basic sp2. Dvd Maker doesn't seem to come with it. It's only available with Premium. Is there any way I can get Dvd maker by download or must. I purchase 3rd party software?
I need to reformat the hard-drive of my laptop (annual clean) but I cannot find my Vista Basic DVD, I cannot even remember getting any DVDs with the laptop when I bought it brand new from Currys (major UK electronics shop) before christmas.
Is there any other way I can reinstall Vista Basic (I don't want to restore Vista to a previous date) without the DVD? I've been into Start/Computer/Properties to get my Windows Activation Product ID, just in case anything thinks I'm trying to install an un-purchased copy. Also, what would I need to do for drivers of things like the graphics, sound, wireless network card etc?
Using my computer as normal, surfing, gaming, music etc. Then yesterday when booting up i noticed the desktop theme had changed to windows classic, not liking this i went into personalize and tried to change it back. However it no longer exists on the list. I have already used system restor to take me back one week and still no joy.
I am confused. I recently purchased a brand new Toshiba Satellite laptop (from a very well known retail vendor). I have Windows Vista Basic running on it. For reasons I won't go into right now (but perhaps in a later post after this), you might say I was forced into doing a little research on my laptop in order to determine whether it is a 32 or 64 bit operating system. Well I found out that my version of Windows Vista Home Basic is 32-bit. However, I am also aware that it is available in a 64-bit version. I also found out that there is such as thing as Windows Vista Starter Edition, which supposedly is the ONLY version of Vista which is NOT 64 bit. If this is true, then why does my System Information tell me that I am running a 32 bit version of Vista Home Basic edition? I do not understand this.
Let me clarify something very quickly here. I am a Computer Networking major at the present time. I do not need someone to speak to me in terms which only someone who doesn't know who to turn on a computer would understand. Lastly, let me also clarify one last thing (hopefully). If there is such as thing as a 64 bit version of Vista Home Basic, then why does my laptop only have the 32 bit version? Is this because I have the "starter" edition, and in order for me to get the better one I would need to actually PAY to upgrade? But why in the world would I need to actually have to PAY in oder to get nothing more than yet a DIFFERENT edition of the exact same OS that I am already running on this laptop of mine? To me, either Windows or Toshiba would have made this a whole lot easier to understand if they would simply have made a DISTINCTION between Vista Starter edition and Vista Home Basic.
Is it possible? If so, how do I do it? I probably need detailed instructions, although I am an experienced computer (my career) and Windows person. (3.1 on up).I have a new Dell Vostro 220 with Home preinstalled. No Vista DVD; just the recovery DVD and partition.I am presently running Vista Home Basic, with Ubuntu 8.10 running as a program under Vista.I no longer run Win 2000 because I wanted to try just Vista. However, Vista won't install and/or run all my old programs (even after adjusting for oldness) and I miss many of them, such as PSP6 and others.Therefore I want to run a triple boot system, so I can:
(a) Use Vista and later Windows 7 if it is better. (b) Continue to play with Ubuntu. (I mainly use the games.) (c) Use my old pgms (mostly gfx) with Win2000.
Can I do this? Or is there a better, still free, way? I live on Social Security, so I can't upgrade many/any old pgms. I am happy with my oldsters (I'm old too; I'll be 70 in less than 2 weeks) and I want to use them as they are if possible.
On my notebook, my main machine, I can't run Aero, but would like to change the colour of the Vista Basic theme. Does anybody know if there's a registry entry or something like that that would allow me to change it?
I am wondering if it is possible that I could create a new partition on my Vista home basic just for storage for pictures and document files mainly. If I could do this, would it help the speed of the computer? If so, how would I go about doing this? And, once stored in the new partition, would I be able to open them as normal? I already use flash drives, etc for storage, but have run out of room on both of those, and just cant afford to buy more right now. I need to speed up this pc, and I know the vast number of pictures and documents and scans I have on here are probably the main culprit for slowing it down. (I do genealogy, and ebay- and have huge number of pictures relating to both, as well as text documents, .rtf files, .pdf files, .doc, etc).
many websites show the minimum system requirements for vista home basic: they say 512 mb ram will do. i have this "old" pc (p4 1.7 ghz, 3 x 256 mb ram, geforce6200 64-bit), a "siemens scenic t", and i am wondering if "home basic" will run smootly on this machine. although it meets the minimum system requirements, i need to know if "home basic" _will_ run smoothly on this computer. nothing "special" will be done on this machine, just internet, some basic word processing ?? la ms word, opening photographs, listening to music (mp3), watching the average online movie like on Internet. before i spend money on vista (home basic) for this computer, i sort of need to know if it will run "normally" with the above mentioned specifications.
I keep seeing great Vista security tutorials in which they use GPEdit.msc to change a setting. Unfortunately, I'm running Vista Home Basic and have yet to find this program.
